Transport Facts
The City of Kaohsiung is a beautiful and thriving international metropolis.
Historically, Kaohsiung is a tiny fishing village that has now evolved into a dynamic city. With a world-class port and a well-connected international airport, Kaohsiung is also an important international hub for international trade. The busy ship routes from all over the world represent the energy and vitality of the city. Despite the industry the city houses, it is considered the greenest and most livable city on the island as it maintains the highest green space per capita as well as extensive natural landscapes and resilient infrastructure.
Kaohsiung boasts varied landscapes, from the mountain ranges bordering the city in the northeast to the warm South China Sea to the west, and southwest. The city offers natural beauty as well as a bustling urban environment, from the lush green Chai and Banping mountains to the clear and serene Lotus Pond with its intricate namesake flowers. The Love River meanders through the city and in the summer, residents and visitors can enjoy beautiful sunshine and a gentle breeze from the surrounding sea. Kaohsiung offers an authentic Taiwanese atmosphere with night markets and small streets with cafes offering traditional local delicacies.
The City of Kaohsiung sincerely welcomes you to experience all that it has to offer at the 3rd EcoMobility World Festival.

Average temperature (Oct): 30 °C
Food in Kaohsiung has many origins. The menus offer an eclectic mix of regional Chinese fare, as well as, for geographic and historical reasons, dishes showing Japanese, Korean, American, European, and Southeast Asian influences. From flavored shaved ice to chicken cutlets as big as your face, eating in Kaohsiung always comes with superlatives. The food map provides a sneak peek into traditional fare in and around Kaohsiung. It begins with beef noodle soup, shaved ice and bubble tea, and extends to the iconic pastry – pineapple cakes.
Oyster omelet
Sea-fresh oysters are an important ingredient in this popular snack, available at just about every night market. The oysters are coated in potato starch and tapioca. Eggs and leafy vegetables are added to the mixture, which is skillet fried over a high flame. A sweet and sour sauce further adds to the addictively delicious taste.
Beef noodle soup
Beef noodle soup inspires competitiveness and innovation in Kaohsiung. Everyone wants to claim the "beef noodle king" title.
Three cup chicken
Though three-cup chicken is a signature local food, it's hard to find at street stalls. The traditional recipe called for a cup each of soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar, with added ginger, garlic, and basil.
Glass noodle
It is a type of transparent noodle made from starch (such as mung bean starch, yam, or potato starch) and water.
The summer blockbuster – shaved ice mountain. This popular dessert has a base of crushed ice flavored with beans, taro, fruit jelly, toppings of mangoes and other seasonal fruits, offering sweet and cool relief on a hot summer day.
Pineapple is known for producing canned pineapple, pineapple drinks, and pineapple jams. This iconic pastry – mini-pies filled with candied pineapple – is one of Kaohsiung's best food souvenirs.
No matter who invented it, we'd like to thank all the bubble tea places that serve it right. It originates from Taichung and is made of a mixture of black tea, milk, and tapioca balls. The combination of fragrant tea and chewy tapioca has made this beverage very popular.
This dessert became known as "mochi" under the influence of the Japanese dessert "wagashi" during the Japanese colonial period. It is one of the representative delicacies of the aboriginal and Hakka cultures.
Sun Cakes
Sun cakes are also known as "xibing" (fine cakes) due to their delicate texture and popularity as a dessert among the better heeled. Taichung is the cradle of sun cakes and home to several old-time bakeries that specialize in making this treat.

Night markets
The stalls in the night markets often offer foods, snacks or games. You can find all kinds of flavored ice and drinks. Liuhe Night market in the city center is a must-go.
This island acts as a buffer to the harbor and extends down the city coastline, connected to Kaohsiung at its southern tip by a tunnel. The beach on Cijin Island is just a five-minute walk from the Cijin Ferry Terminal.
Lotus Pond
The scenic pond in the north of the city has been a popular destination since the Qing dynasty and is well known for the 20 or so temples dotting the shoreline and nearby alleys.
Formosa Boulevard KMRT Station
Stop by to see the resplendent Dome of Light by Italian glass artist Narcissus Quagliata. Formosa Blvd is located south of the main train station.
Shitzuwan Beach
Shitzuwan Beach is smaller than Cijin, but it's a calmer swimming beach and is an excellent place for hanging out and watching the sunset.
Love River was once an open sewer and it has seen a remarkable transformation in recent years. The waters flow clean and the bankside promenades with their benches, shady trees and outdoor cafes are popular hang-outs for both locals and visitors.
British Consulate Residence at Dagou
Built in 1865, this handsome red-brick consulate residence sits 70m above the mouth of Kaohsiung Harbor, a perfect location for watching giant container ships sail through the tiny mouth of the harbor.
Tianliao Moon World
It has the most badlands and most active mud volcanoes in Taiwan. It has a dreary and desolate beauty of desert and is famous for its similarity to the landscape of the Moon surface.
Meinong District
Beautiful rural scenery, leisurely countryside view, rich and simple cultural history make Meinong on the list of Taiwan's Top 10 Small Tourist Towns.
Kaohsiung city is committed to the development of green transport. Although motorcycles are one of the most common form of mobility in the city, the city government is encouraging transition from motorized vehicles to electric vehicles through subsidy schemes. Numerous exhibition fairs and test-rides were organized for citizens to experience the various modes of electric vehicles. In addition, the city is served by the High Speed Rail which provides rapid, frequent and reliable railway connection to Taipei.
In addition, the city maintains multiple public transport systems, including MRT, high speed rail, the Taiwan Railway, city buses, ferries, solar boats, and light rail (the first of its kind without catenary cables in Asia). A circular light rail covering 22.1 kms with 37 stops is planned, with the first stage of construction, including 8.7 kms of waterfront light rail passing through 14 stops, scheduled to be completed by June 2017.

Willkommen to Oktoberfest 2018! Everyone's favourite German holiday is being celebrated in the traditional Bavarian way at Oktoberfest. From 22 September to 28 October 2018, Munich Brauhaus, The Bavarian, and Bavarian Beerhaus welcome everyone to experience an unforgettable time. The Plus Ones were delighted to don a dirndl and get a sneak peek of what Munich Brauhaus is offering to make this year's Oktoberfest the best yet.
You don't have to have any German heritage to enjoy the Bavarian offerings throughout Oktoberfest. It's all about sharing good beer, great food, and lots of traditional fun. The lineup at Munich Brauhaus is jam-packed throughout the six weeks.
The opening weekend party at Munich Brauhaus on Saturday 22 September involves a ceremonial keg-tapping of the first Oktoberfest beer keg — just like you'll see in Munich itself. Plus, they have five official 'biers' direct from the Bavarian heartland: Paulaner, Hofbrau, Lowenbrau, Staten, and Hacker-Pschorr to choose from.
Opening day on the 22nd of September has a Sausage-Eating competition at 2pm (which incidentally, my friend took her Tinder date to last year — talk about a memorable first date!). 4pm has a Dogs of Oktoberfest competition, 5pm a stein-holding comp, and at 7pm there's a Best-Dressed Oktoberfest competition. All with $250 bar tabs to win! Watch the live oompah bands, on-stage yodelling and traditional Bavarian Schuhplattler (slap dancing), then enjoy the official afterparty from 9pm. The same sorts of things happen all over again on Sunday 23rd. Fun fact: I've been reliably informed that the beer hall tents at the 'real' Oktoberfest close around 8pm. This is one time it's better to be in Australia than Munich.
The Plus Ones got to experience a preview of what the Oktoberfest festivities will include. On a Friday night, the beer hall at Munich Brauhaus was packed with revellers. Dirndl- and lederhosen-clad servers led us to our long table, where we got to choose between stiens (or half-steins) of different, delicious German beers. Our Munich Lion-Sized Appetiser Share Platter came out, replete with dips and 'haus-made' pickles, cheese, pastrami, and the like. And of course, what would a visit to a German bier hall be like without pretzels!
During our evening, we were treated to live music from the oompah band, and got to take part in a traditional nailing competition. That's right – hammering nails into a plank of wood, all for fun, glory, and a prize. The Germans certainly know how to keep people entertained. There's nothing better than great food, even better beer, and celebrating traditional Bavarian culture.
Head to Munich Brauhaus, The Bavarian and Bavarian Beerhaus for an terrific Teutonic time.
Co-founder of The Plus Ones, Theresa loves any excuse to wear her authentic German dirndl. Follow her on Instagram.
Sydney's best Oktoberfest 2018 celebration runs from 22 September to 28 October 2018. Visit www.thebavarians.com/oktoberfest for more.

Family therapy can be challenging to navigate for a host of clinical reasons, and therapists can quickly find themselves feeling ungrounded and at a loss for effective interventions—especially when child abuse is present. Watch renowned therapist Virginia Satir conduct an innovative, forward-moving session with a distraught family of four, and you'll understand why this 20th-century psychotherapist is considered one of the pioneers of family therapy.
Bob and Betty are married and expecting a baby, in addition to raising Aaron and Robbie, Bob's two young sons from a previous marriage. Betty, seeing the abuse Aaron and Robbie have recently endured (and are beginning to perpetrate themselves), fears for her unborn child and questions Bob's commitment to preventing further abuse. The family comes to Satir on the brink of breakup, wanting to stay connected but unclear about how to do so.
Through a creative combination of gentle, hands-on interventions and directive, facilitated discussion, Satir establishes a safe yet firm environment that supports the family's motivation to change, while also addressing the issues of trust, choice, and resistance that can arise during the therapeutic process. You'll witness her skill at assessment, generating a warm, authentic rapport while getting the details of the boys' abuse. You'll be amazed by the depth of her guided breakout session with the adults, as she affirms their desire for stability while helping cement each others' "bottom line" as a foundation for building trust. Again and again, you'll be moved by the presence, patience, and interactive use of healing touch Satir exhibits throughout this session as well as the entire Virginia Satir Series.
This video is a must for therapists looking to learn more about family systems, child abuse assessment, creative interventions, goal-oriented facilitation, and the empathic, nurturing stance that allows for safety and transformation.
Satir's mastery is in full blossom in this video. Her integrative approach is made explicit, and you'll see her fearlessness in how she uses touch for connecting and instructing. Watching this video will deepen any therapist commitment to grow competence for working with families.
--Jean McLendon, LCSW, Past President, The Virginia Satir Global Network
You'll be impressed with how deeply Virginia Satir engages Bob, Betty, Aaron, and Robbie in this session, structured to include the family all together as well as in separate dyads. Bob, a recovering alcoholic, holds custody of Aaron (age 4) and Robbie (age 3), his sons from a previous marriage to a woman who abuses them even as he fights for a restraining order. Bob's current wife, Betty, would rather leave the family than risk abuse to her coming child with Bob. Satir reflects on the "undercurrent of fear" the family is enduring, and proceeds with a session designed to uncover each family member's concerns, align their goals, and get them relating in a safe, honest way.
Satir guides Bob and Betty in communicating their "bottom line" needs in deep connection, supports the whole family in regulating physical touch, and assists Bob in setting clear limits with his sons. Nurturing, directive, experiential, and engaged, Satir exhibits a charismatic style that's simultaneously unique and accessible.
If you've ever wanted to watch this leading figure in action but have resisted the high price tag for her videos, you'll be excited to discover her work now, as part of our accessibly priced Virginia Satir Series.
By watching this video, you will:
Learn the principles of Satir's approach to family assessment
Understand how a systems therapist can conduct guided sessions with parts of the family unit as well as the whole
Identify creative interventions to support healthy physical touch

About Virginia Satir
Virginia Satir is one of the key figures in the development of family therapy. She believed that a healthy family life involved an open and reciprocal sharing of affection, feelings, and love. Satir made enormous contributions to family therapy in her clinical practice and training. She began treating families in 1951 and established a training program for psychiatric residents at the Illinois State Psychiatric Institute in 1955.
Satir served as the director of training at the Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto from 1959-66 and at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur beginning in 1966. In addition, Satir gave lectures and led workshops in experiential family therapy across the country. She was well-known for describing family roles, such as "the rescuer" or "the placator," that function to constrain relationships and interactions in families. She is also known for creating the Virginia Satir Change Process Model, a psychological model developed through clinical studies.
Satir's genuine warmth and caring was evident in her natural inclination to incorporate feelings and compassion in the therapeutic relationship. She believed that caring and acceptance were key elements in helping people face their fears and open up their hearts to others. Above all other therapists, Satir's was the most powerful voice to wholeheartedly support the importance of love and nurturance as being the most important healing aspects of therapy. Unfortunately, Satir's beliefs went against the more scientific approach to family therapy accepted at that time, and she shifted her efforts away from the field to travel and lecture. Satir died in 1988 after suffering from pancreatic cancer.
Her most well-known books are Conjoint Family Therapy, 1964, Peoplemaking, 1972, and The New Peoplemaking, 1988.

Inspired by the former Olympian Vijendra Singh, this Boxing champ aspires to follow in his footsteps.
vikas krishan yadav
Won Gold - Men's 75 Kg Event GC2018 Games.
Category Boxing (Sports)
Since his spectacular golden victory in the 2010 Asian Games, Vikas Krishan Yadav has proved to everyone that he certainly can throw a punch! Vikas started boxing at the young age of 10 and went on to win gold for his country.
The 26-year-old boxer draws inspiration from champion Vijendra Singh and hopes to establish himself as one of the top-notch players who can one day motivate a younger generation of budding boxers to enter the league.
Born and brought up in Haryana, Yadav practiced his blows in the Bhiwani Boxing Club and then went ahead to receive training in the Army Sports Institute at Pune.
Commit and Conquer
The boxer has got several medals and successes to his name. With the force of these achievements under his belt, it is no wonder he is the man one should look out for.
After experiencing his first international success at the 2010 Asian Games, in the same year, Vikas won gold in the lightweight category at the Summer Youth Olympics and the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships.
In the 2015 Asian Boxing Championships, he won a silver in the middleweight event.
Vikas is a dedicated boxer who commits to his weaknesses, builds them into his strengths and conquers. He competes in the middleweight category and has also been granted with the precious honor of the Arjuna Award in 2012.
Now in 2018, he has brought honor to the country by winning a gold at the Commonwealth Games.
When Life Gets Tough, Put On Boxing Gloves
There are a couple of things that boxing has taught Yadav. One is that the sport isn't about how hard you hit, but how hard you get hit.
Yadav tasted sweet success early in his career when he went ahead to represent India at the 2012 London Olympics. Although he was claimed the ultimate winner of the game, Vikas was eliminated on grounds of having committed foul play.
After this, Yadav took a year off from boxing to focus on his studies and train under the Haryana State Police. He is currently a working member of the Haryana State Electricity Board.
Vikas could not appear for the 2014 Commonwealth Games held at Glasgow because of an injury he sustained.
Yadav again qualified for the 2016 Rio Olympics by bagging a bronze at the Olympic qualifiers but was ultimately defeated in the quarterfinals of the Men's Middleweight 75 kg boxing event.
All these failures and knockouts, although disappointed him, did not dishearten him. The man beat all odds and rose to the top. He took part, for the first time, in the 2018 Commonwealth Games held at Gold Coast and won gold for his country!
He ranks No. 4 overall in the middleweight category!
He got hit – several times. But he stood back up and gained a steady footing and now he can proudly say that he has achieved something to be proud of.
Boxer.

Obstruction Replaces Collusion As Key Description Regarding Investigation Of Donald Trump
January 27, 2018 — Ron Chusid
Although Robert Muller's investigation to date has concentrated on money laundering and obstruction of justice, some in the media such as Rachel Maddow try to make this sound like it is more about collusion which altered the 2016 election result despite lack of evidence of this. It was good to see that this week most of the news media concentrated on talking about obstruction rather than collusion as there is a far stronger case for obstruction of justice.
One example of the conventional wisdom in the political press comes from Politico Magazine which writes, It's Now Likely Mueller Thinks Trump Obstructed Justice:
Thursday's explosive New York Times story that President Donald Trump ordered the firing of special counsel Robert Mueller last June renewed the public's focus on the obstruction of justice investigation against Trump, which will soon culminate in Trump's interview by Mueller. The case against Trump has grown stronger in recent months, and it now appears likely that Mueller will conclude that Trump obstructed justice…
Impeding or influencing an FBI investigation is a crime only if it is done with "corrupt" intent—in other words, the intent to wrongfully impede the administration of justice. In my experience, proving a defendant's intent without direct evidence—that is, without statements by the defendant that directly reveal his or her intent—is challenging.
One could argue that Trump provided direct evidence when he told NBC's Lester Holt that he was going to fire Comey regardless of the recommendations of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and that he was thinking of "this Russia thing" when he did so. But Trump quickly followed up that comment by indicating that he thought the investigation was bogus, and his defense to obstruction could be that he genuinely believed the Russia investigation was meritless.
Before bringing a case, prosecutors anticipate defenses like that one and gather evidence to rebut potential defenses. We have since learned of very substantial additional evidence that would rebut that defense, or a defense that Trump didn't understand the consequences of firing Comey. While that evidence is indirect, Mueller could argue that we can infer Trump's intent from that evidence, which is how prosecutors typically prove a defendant's intent.
For example, last spring, Trump reportedly asked Sessions if the government could drop the criminal case against former Sheriff Joseph Arpaio, whom Trump later pardoned. According to the Washington Post, Sessions told Trump that would be inappropriate, and Trump decided to let the case go to trial and pardon Arpaio if he was convicted. Mueller could argue that this suggests that Trump is serious about killing investigations of his friends. A pattern of behavior is always a stronger indicator of intent than a one-off action.
We also learned that, according to the New York Times, in March—two months before Trump fired Comey—he ordered White House Counsel Don McGahn to stop Sessions from recusing himself. When McGahn was unsuccessful, Trump reportedly erupted in anger, saying he needed Sessions to "protect him" and "safeguard" him, as he believed other attorneys general had done for other presidents. These are very odd statements by Trump that Mueller could argue indicate that Trump wanted Sessions to impede or even end the Russia investigation to "protect him."
…As we learned Thursday in the New York Times, there was indeed a need to protect Mueller back in June, when Trump ordered the firing of special counsel due to "conflicts of interest" that were not actually conflicts and appear to be thinly veiled excuses to get rid of Mueller. Trump also considered firing Rosenstein and replacing him with Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand, the No. 3 Justice Department official, so she could oversee Mueller. According to the Times, Trump has wavered for months about whether he wants to fire Mueller, which is an "omnipresent concern among his legal team and close aides."
This is an important piece of evidence because it comes after Trump fired Comey and learned that he was under investigation for obstruction of justice. It should be easy for Mueller to prove that Trump read or viewed legal analysis discussing the possibility that Trump obstructed justice by firing Comey. Trump's desire to fire Mueller despite knowing that firing a law enforcement official overseeing the Russia investigation could raise obstruction concerns is strong evidence that Trump's intent was to obstruct the investigation. The excuses offered by Trump also bolster Mueller's case, because they indicate that the president realized that firing Mueller to impede the investigation would be perceived as wrongful.
While we don't know all of the evidence, Thursday's revelation suggests it is likely Mueller will conclude that Trump obstructed justice. Some conservative legal commentators have argued that Trump's constitutional authority to fire personnel and end investigations is so vast that he cannot obstruct justice as a legal matter. Most legal scholars find that argument unpersuasive, but it is an academic point—not one that is decisive—because Mueller has pressed forward in investigating the firing of Comey as obstruction of justice and the power of Congress to impeach Trump goes beyond the text of any statute.
Even if Mueller concludes that he could prove beyond a reasonable doubt in court that Trump was guilty of obstructing justice, I believe he will ultimately present the matter to Congress for potential impeachment instead. After all, according to the New York Times, former independent counsel Kenneth Starr possessed a legal memo concluding that he had the power to indict former President Bill Clinton but did not do so, ultimately choosing to present the matter to Congress. I think Mueller would likely do the same thing, because it's the more prudential approach given that it's an open legal question whether a sitting president can be indicted.
Many other publications have similar reports, such as Jeffrey Toobin writing at The New Yorker that The Answer to Whether Trump Obstructed Justice Now Seems Clear.
It has been clear for months that Mueller has been concentrating on money laundering and obstruction of justice based upon his indictments to date and the types of attorneys he has hired. We do know that Donald Trump's son and son-in-law attended a meeting with Russians after being enticed with promises of information about Hillary Clinton, with no information actually available. This diminishes any claim from Trump that he was above collusion (assuming he was aware of the meeting), but no evidence of any actual meaningful collusion has yet to be presented, while much of the evidence obtained argues against this. Despite MSNBC repeatedly billing the investigation as one into Russian tampering with the election for over a year, Mueller has only hired a single prosecutor who specializes in cyber crimes, and this was not even done until earlier this month.
It would make a major change in the case if it could be proven that the Russians not only hacked the DNC computer but did so with collaboration from the Trump campaign, but there is zero evidence of this to date. Meanwhile, the information obtained through the Congressional hearings has shown that claims about Russian tampering with the election have been highly exaggerated. Similarly multiple media reports of Russian hacking were subsequently retracted as false. We definitely should be talking about obstruction of justice, and money laundering, if interested in a fact-based discussion of Trump's crimes and the Russia investigation, rather than using Russia as an excuse for Clinton losing the 2016 election.

Investing Laws & Regulations
Attorney-In-Fact
By Will Kenton
Updated Jun 4, 2019
What Is an Attorney-In-Fact?
An attorney-in-fact is a person who is authorized to perform business-related transactions on behalf of someone else such as the principal of a company.
In order to become someone's attorney-in-fact, the principal must sign a power of attorney document. This document designates the person as an agent, allowing him to perform actions on the principal's behalf. An attorney-in-fact acts as the principal's agent but is not necessarily authorized to practice law.
Understanding Attorney-In-Fact
An attorney-in-fact takes two forms. The first type is a general power of attorney which allows the attorney-in-fact to conduct all business and sign any document on behalf of the principal. The second type is a special power of attorney, which outlines the matters in which the attorney. This document allows the attorney-in-fact to sign documents and conduct business on the principal's behalf only in specific situations.
It's important to note that an attorney-in-fact does not need to be a practicing attorney. The principal can appoint anyone to be the attorney-in-fact—even family members—as long as the document is signed.
All attorneys-in-fact are required to keep a fiduciary duty, meaning that the best interest of the principal must be upheld.
Anyone assigning an attorney-in-fact should take care to choose someone who won't steal their assets.
The Powers and Duties of an Attorney-In-Fact
If the attorney-in-fact is designated as a general power of attorney, he or she is allowed to conduct any investment or spending actions that the principal would reasonably take. This means an attorney-in-fact would be able to open and close bank accounts, withdraw funds, trade stocks, pay bills, or cash checks—all on behalf of the principal.
For example, an elderly person may grant the general power of attorney to his child to help pay bills and other financial matters that may be outside the scope of the elderly person's ability. This is especially beneficial if the older person is immobile or otherwise bedridden and can't travel to a bank.
If a principal believes a general power of attorney gives too much power to someone else, he can designate an attorney-in-fact as a special power of attorney. So if the same elderly person is temporarily immobile because of recent surgery, he can grant special power of attorney to his child to pay his bills while he recovers.
What Special Power of Attorney Means
Special power of attorney is a written authorization that grants an agent the authority to act on behalf of the principal under specified circumstances.
Power of Attorney: Allowing One Person to Act on Behalf of Another
Power of attorney is a legal document giving a person broad or limited legal authority to make decisions about the principal's property, finances, or medical care.
Form 2848 Definition
Form 2848 is an IRS document that authorizes an individual or organization to appear before the IRS to represent a taxpayer.
Healthcare Power of Attorney (HCPA)
A healthcare power of attorney (HCPA) is a legal document that allows an individual to empower another to make decisions about his or her medical care.
Implied Authority
Implied authority refers to an agent with the jurisdiction to perform acts which are reasonably necessary to accomplish the purpose of an organization.
Principal-Agent Relationship
The principal-agent relationship refers to an arrangement in which one entity legally appoints another to act on its behalf.

How Can I Work in Immunology?
Through a bachelor's degree program in immunology, you'll explore the basics of microbiology, immunology and virology. In addition to general science courses in biology, physics and chemistry, you'll take advanced courses that address genetics, pathogenesis and bacteriology. You'll also conduct research and work in labs to learn about diseases that include AIDS, cancer and anthrax and how they affect the immune system.
Through master's degree programs in immunology, you may take courses related to public health that address how improving public understanding of diseases can lead to better health overall. You may complete courses that cover the spread of disease and the history of pandemics, such as AIDS. To graduate, you must write a thesis. Topics for specialization or research can include molecular virology, immune regulation, inflammation, allergens or vaccine development.
Doctoral degree programs in immunology allow you to keep up to date on changes and advances in the field while you conduct research and write a relevant dissertation based on your research. Common research topics include different types of infectious agents and methods for improving the cellular system so it can defend against pathogens. Some programs require that you engage in many areas of research before selecting a specialization, such as infectious or disease epidemiology.

I totally agree with this suggestion. I wish it was fast and easy to implement. Network multiplayer of some sort (Bluetooth, WiFi, Internet) is one my top wishes for where I want to take Ludo.NET. But I think ranking/highscore lists and animations will be implemented before multiplayer support.
it should keep scores, ie like 100 if 1st, 50 for 2nd, 25 for 3rd & 0 for 4th position.
Add another game rule to allow moving a whole stack of pieces. This rule should not be possible to activate when form blocks is activated, because moving a block around the board make it far too easy to win.
When the dice is rolled or pieces are moved, the game should play a sound corresponding to the action.
Make it easy to turn the sound off, so it doesn't bother users that don't like it.
Work on sound is put on hold to prioritize game score and highscrore lists, since that idea has got more votes.
If/When animation is enabled it will take some more time to move a piece, which slows the game play down a bit.
For users that want the game to be as fast as possible and doesn't care about animations, provide an option in game settings to turn animation off.

Ivar Petur Kjartansson
Full-time musician, part-time snowboarder
Directed byElli Thor Magnússon & Daði Jónsson
PhotographyElli Thor Magnússon & Daníel Örn Gíslason
MusicÍvar Pétur Kjartansson
The only thing I think about are snowboards. Even when I'm playing music.
Snowboarding has always been of the utmost importance to Ívar Pétur Kjartansson, who is best known for his role as the drummer of the band FM Belfast.
"The only thing I think about are snowboards. Even when I'm playing music. My snowboarding talents, however, did not come as naturally as the music and that is why I'm still involved in music, it pays the bills."
Ívar was born and raised in Seyðisfjörður, a town in the Eastfjords of Iceland with slightly fewer than 700 residents. The town is known for its diverse cultural life and the annual art festival LungA which draws in large crowds. Ívar's childhood was characterized by simple pleasures and non-stop fun and games. The kids had a great deal of freedom. As long as they attended school and came home for dinner, they had the rest of the time to do whatever interested them the most. For Ívar it was music, skateboarding in summer and snowboarding in winter.
"Having lived and worked in Reykjavík, I realized what a privilege it was to grow up in Seyðisfjörður. We had a great deal of freedom, particularly within the safe circle of the mountains surrounding the town. Thinking back, it was really the entire community that looked after us kids, no matter what our interests were. So the saying "it takes a village to raise a child" is extremely apt."
"Us boys were mostly in music and on boards, we got the steelworks to construct a rail for us. Then we borrowed musical instruments from older musicians in the town and the keys to the music school from the headmaster of the school. We destroyed several handrails in town, including the one in front of the offices of the local authorities."
"In winter, we did pretty much what we wanted to in the town's skiing area. The staff there, along with several willing helpers, used the piste caterpillar to create jump ramps for us following our specs and gave us a ride up to the top when possible. Every passing year I understand better and better the never-ending opportunities one can find tucked away in the mountains in Seyðisfjörður, and in East Iceland as a whole. The mountains provide world-class off-track conditions."
"Over 30 years ago a tree planting campaign was launched in the town to provide better shelter from the wind. When the weather is bad and visibility is poor, these trees provide excellent shelter and make it possible to ski, something that would not have been possible if they weren't there. When I was in nursery school, I even planted a few trees there myself and these have grown with me."
Listen to the band FM Belfast on Spotify
"Everybody who spends any time outdoors in Iceland knows that you get a tremendous variety of weather at any time of the year. I find it most important, whether I'm snowboarding or hiking in the mountains, to have a good, light watertight and wind proof shell jacket and trousers. If the shell is properly cared for you can be ready for any eventuality simply by putting on the right clothes underneath."
"On cold winter days in powder snow few things are better than a woollen base layer, something I would actually prefer to wear all year round. Then I usually put on a pair of Primaloft pants and then a parka on top to provide me with extra insulation under the shell. Then when spring comes around and it gets warmer in the mountains, I don't need as much insulation and make do with woollen underclothes under the shell."
"It is a lot of fun being outside in all kinds of weather, and to do so one has to have the right clothing. That is why I always have an additional warm and technical down jacket for the worst snowstorms and harshest cold. Finally, the ever-useful woollen pullover is my "go-to" clothing all year round, whether I'm camping, at an outdoor festival or at a good après ski get-together after a long day on the mountain."

Campfire Songs: "Stealin'"
In the 1960s, many folk, blues, and rock musicians helped introduce old and sometimes forgotten gems to youthful audiences. A good case in point is "Stealin' Stealin'," which was first recorded by the New Orleans jazz musician Clarence Williams in 1921 and which saw a definitive version in a 1928 recording by the Memphis Jug Band. "Stealin'," as it's alternatively titled, became a folk/pop standard through interpretations by the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, and others.
Check out more Campfire Songs here.
Like many folk and pop songs, "Stealin'" is built from the I, IV, and V chords—C, F, and G5, respectively, in this arrangement's key of C major—with the vi chord (Am7) also thrown in. This notation conveys what singer-songwriter Maurice Tani plays in the accompanying video on AG's website. (Note that Tani's vocal line is somewhat simplified in the notation, to make it more playable for guitarists of all abilities.)
In his accompaniment, Tani demonstrates an important but often overlooked concept: when strumming cowboy chords, you don't need to play notes on all of the strings. For instance, Tani omits the first string on all four chords, and this discourages sonic clutter. He also uses efficient fingerings, which make it easier to switch between chords—in bars 13 and 18, he plays the Am7 chord simply by removing his third finger from the C chord shape.
As for the picking hand, Tani plays a basic boom-chuck pattern, with the occasional walk-up, shown below. Note that for the C chord, you'll need to move your third finger between the third fret on strings 5 and 6. Also, be sure to maintain a loose and relaxed strum throughout, for a kind of swinging feel.

First Person Dungeon Crawlers are an archaic subgenre, and one might wonder why any developer would choose to return to its mechanics in the modern era. In this reviewer's opinion, one of the primary strengths of the First Person Dungeon Crawler is its ambiguity: the lack of detail and narrative allows players to fill in their own blanks and add character and gravitas to circumstances. That's not the only appealing element, however. A first-person dungeon is a puzzle in itself, a set of paradigms and rules that the player must carefully circumvent. If you plan well enough, you can avoid traps, conserve resources, and overcome obstacles in order to push further, either incrementally or adventurously. The dungeon is a representation of progression itself that further enhances the accomplishment achieved from character growth.
Even so, the offering of First Person Dungeon Crawlers on the Switch has been somewhat meager. While there have been plenty of titles like Labyrinth of Refrain, The Lost Child, and Operencia offering their own twists on the concept, only a few exceptions have managed to embody the best traits of the subgenre. It might sound surprising to hear that an independent Japanese developer should put together such a delightful and smart title that utilizes smart quality of life choices in tandem with a strong and simple art style, but that's just what Pon Pon Games have managed with Potato Flowers in Full Bloom.
Potato Flowers in Full Bloom (henceforth titled Potato Flowers) is a dungeon crawler in its purest sense: you navigate a grid-based series of environments in order to reach narrative checkpoints, with an overarching goal of recovering some cataclysm-resistant seeds to use as a food source from an old alchemic labyrinth. This isn't the only location you'll be visiting, though, and while most of the structures you'll explore are stone-walled, catacomb-style affairs, each has its own gimmicks and encounters to consider. When exploring, you view the environment from a first person perspective, but battle pulls back to observe the entire square from a three quarters perspective. Even though these are the preset camera positions, you still have a bit of wiggle space while in first person perspective, and can freely turn the camera whichever way you'd like during combat.
These two elements of gameplay- exploration and combat- comprise the entirety of Potato Flowers, and it's a good thing that both sides are straightforward while still featuring plenty of depth of mechanics. Players must manage health, stamina, and spirit throughout their dungeon crawl: health is a relatively flexible resource that refills after each completed battle, but every attack costs stamina due to the weight and complexity of weapons, so you'll need to strategize and find the right opportunities to rest and replenish this resource, which is even depleted while blocking attacks.
This is a huge part of the ebb and flow of combat, further diversified by an impressive class system that allows for characters to operate in a variety of roles on the battlefield. Placing a strong knight at the forefront and pumping skill points into their shield and aggro abilities means that your middle and back position characters can fire off their own offensive abilities. What is all the more impressive is that this skill system is universal- you can observe the abilities of enemies and see that all of them operate by the same rules.
Spirit is the most limited resource next to lantern-light, which means that no matter how far you explore the world, you'll eventually run out of energy to execute your strongest attacks and light by which you can view your map. It's a strange but immersive feature, but your lantern will only burn for so long, and although you can light a number of fixtures throughout the labyrinths to create pockets of visible space, you can only pull up and read your map if standing in one of these areas or trekking around with a lit lantern.
The visual language and draw distance means that you can spot landmarks off in the distance and never truly get completely lost, but this mechanic (in tandem with spirit points) means that you'll eventually need to return to your base camp in order to replenish your reserves. The game is forgiving enough to allow players the ability to jump back home right from their main menu, a welcome feature that keeps progression brisk. Similarly, the game is chock-full of shortcuts, meaning that you will always carve efficient paths around enemies and towards your next objective.
This is key because enemy encounters take up permanent spaces within dungeons and will respawn any time you leave and return. Shortcuts not only unlock paths around these creatures, but also open up avenues for sneak attacks, a great way to nab an extra turn of damage before the enemy can react. This can be an extremely valuable feature for training up new recruits, who will receive experience points even if they fall in battle. Everything in Potato Flowers pushes you forward, even its relatively-simple-yet-essential dungeon puzzles, which are used to great effect on a number of floors to help and hinder progression. You'll use weighted systems to raise gates, raising and lowering water levels, and even linking together enemy encounters to grant yourself specific elemental buffs in order to fight new foes. There's a few familiar ideas here, but a fair amount are usual and different.
Narrative and Aesthetics
First impressions of Potato Flowers's art style might imply crudeness or a lack of imagination, but its low-poly character designs are incredibly charming and highly diverse. The main humanoid model allows for a great deal of customization, which is why the party members have relatively similar body types. Throughout the course of the game, however, you'll see a variety of more unique enemy types, a number of which look far more fantastic than the standard humanoid while still remaining adorably whimsical. The wolf model in particular is hilariously off-base, but still extremely cute. Animations are similarly simplistic, but communicate the action of attacks and skills well, the exception sometimes being magic effects.
A great deal of Potato Flowers takes place in a single dungeon, and the unfortunate truth is that the game's meager soundtrack loops a great deal. The dungeon exploration track that is used for the majority of the main labyrinth is most certainly mystifying and adventurous, but it is a relatively short track that has a very obvious loop point. The other tracks are also very appropriate for the fantastic setting, and delving into one of the other dungeons will alleviate the nature of that main track somewhat. The battle themes are all very fun, with the boss battle theme in particular having a great sense of gravitas. The shame of the main dungeon is that it could have had a soundtrack cycling system similar to the home base area, which shuffles through a list of songs that have a colorful amount of variety to them. If this slight change had occurred, or perhaps the main dungeon theme were a bit longer, it would prevent the game from feeling as repetitive as it does.
Most of the game's narrative is delivered via recovered documents that offer a decent amount of lore for the setting, with a group of alchemists attempting to create a seed that can withstand the strange pollution plaguing most of the known world. Because this research facility is located on a remote island, you'd think the game might be a rather solitary experience, but you'll meet more than a handful of characters along the way, many of which possessing narrative and gameplay roles of their own. There's a great deal of reasons to remain in this far-off place, and some people are there simply trying to survive or make a living. Most of the substantial story beats are delivered via large text boxes that have accompanying visuals, which you can freely rotate much the same way as battle stages.
While there's no particularly thrilling drama to be had, it's clear that a good deal of thought was put into the world and characters that inhabit it. The game also has an enjoyable and substantive bestiary, with flavor text for every monster you'll encounter, similar to a Tattle Log from Paper Mario. The quality of the writing is not overly flowery or obscure, but manages to feel conversational more often than not. This can sometimes be to the narrative's detriment, as its casual tone might make some of its more mysterious and compelling moments seem flippant.
Impressions and Conclusion
It is the aesthetic charms and extremely clever gameplay mechanics of Potato Flowers that combine to create its distinctive brand of addictive gameplay. Even its repetitive dungeon theme manages to lull the player into a trance as they explore the labyrinth. The way that encounters are structured allows for a great deal of experimentation, as the player can train up and attempt new team compositions with relative ease just by dragging a dead level one character through a relatively high-leveled encounter. The game is also extremely forgiving with its fail states, simply kicking you back to your home base when your party collapses. The enemy encounters resetting upon returning allows for ease of access in some scenarios and surprisingly tough challenges in the late game. For example, getting to pick and choose your encounters can be seen as a boon, especially when attempting to power up a newly recruited character, but clever design also forces the player into specific combat scenarios if they wish to obtain valuable gear.
Speaking of which, there's an infrequently-utilized crafting system that expands the equipment options that may or may not be tied to a strange level-scaling system the game possesses. At times, defeated enemies will gain a meter that, once maxed out, will raise their level and may or may not increase the chances of them dropping a material for crafting, though the entire mechanic isn't very well explained. This is somewhat surprising, considering the game is very transparent regarding its combat mechanics. Either way, players can gain resources to craft highly situational and extremely beneficial equipment, which can be used to surmount some of the more specific late-game challenges. You can also save up money to level up pieces of equipment, some of which will never be endgame-wielding material, but allows for a smoother transition between new pieces of crafted armor and items scavenged from the dungeons in addition to providing some powerful counters to the aforementioned powerful enemies.
There's not much else to say about Potato Flowers, as the game does not offer as extensive a playtime as some other dungeon crawlers on the Switch, although that's really because the featured systems allow for an extremely streamlined, yet wholly full-featured experience. It would take a great deal more time to complete the game if the shortcuts were less-cleverly designed, or if the enemy encounters weren't as telegraphed, it would likely be a much more obscure and potentially frustrating experience. As it stands, Potato Flowers feels like a puzzle box in every part of its design: enemy encounters may provide challenges for your current team, but their weaknesses are apparent enough that creating a new party member to exploit them feels seamless.
Traps and obstacles are laid out in a way that allows you to easily tackle one at a time. The efficiency on display is so thoughtful that it might make even a seasoned dungeon crawler wonder how these elements haven't been employed elsewhere previously. In any case, it is a staggering accomplishment of independent development that condenses the absolute best parts of the genre into an easily digestible 20-25 hour playtime. To say that we should keep our eye on developer Pon Pon Games would be an understatement, as a product like this shows an attention to detail and fun not often seen elsewhere.

Thanks for reviewing this! I love DRPGs and this looks like the perfect game for me, but I never would have heard of it if not for this site.


SIRIWARDENE v, JAMES et at.
Plea of guilt—Application to withdraw plea—Right of accused to do so beforesentence.
A plea of guilt tendered toy an accused may be withdrawn beforesentence is passed.
^ N application to revise a conviction by the Magistrate of Ratnapura.
P. J. Kurukulasuriya (with him S. R. Wijatilaka), for accused,petitioners.
U.A. Jayasundere, for complainant, respondent.
They were convicted upon their own pleas and they then asked for sixweeks' time in which to leave the land as their house was not complete.Sentence was deferred till June 5, on which date each of the accused wassentenced to pay_ a fine of Rs. 25, in default three weeks' imprisonment.
In the interval between conviction and sentence the accused moved towithdraw their pleas of guilty, and filed an affidavit which was sworn onMay 30, in which they deposed that they were acting under a misappre-hension as to the facts when they tendered their pleas of guilty. TheMagistrate in making his order on June 26 expressed doubt as to whetherhe had the right to set aside the verdict of guilty which he had recordedon April 25 and to allow them to plead to the charge again and to proceedwith the trial. He considered one authority which appears to have beenbrought to his notice, but held the view that it did not apply to the casebefore him and that he had no jurisdiction to set aside his own verdict.
The petitioners now ask that the convictions and sentences shall berevised. In the first place they claim that their pleas of guilty were notunqualified and that they were tantamount to a plea that if they wereallowed time during which to vacate the premises they would plead guilty.With that contention I am unable to agree. It appears the Magistratehas correctly recorded the words of each of the accused, namely, " I amguilty " and the request for time during which to leave the land wouldappear to be rather in the nature of a concession which they asked for thanof a qualification of their pleas.
It is then urged on their behalf that the convictions should be set asideinasmuch as the pleas were tendered under a misapprehension as to thefacts and the question arises whether the Magistrate had power to enter-tain their request to withdraw their plea. The Criminal Procedure Codeis silent upon this point, and Counsel for the petitioners submits that insuch a case by virtue of the provisions of section 6 of the Code it is opento this Court to look to the provisions of the English law for guidance.
i>62HEARNE J.—Swarus u. Purer a.
it was held that a plea of guilty might be withdrawn at any time beforejudgment. It seems to me that the term " judgment " used in that caseis synonymous with the word " sentence " and if that law may be appliedas I conceive that it may, in the circumstances of this case, it wouldappear that the learned Magistrate was mistaken in the view that he hadno power to set aside his finding of guilty.
In these circumstances, I think that the convictions and sentencesshould be set aside, and the case should go back for trial before anotherMagistrate.

Multiple Coexisting Dirac Surface States in Three-Dimensional Topological Insulator PbBi6Te10
By means of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements, we unveil the electronic band structure of three-dimensional PbBi6Te10 topological insulator.
M. Papagno et al., ACS Nano, Vol. 10 - 3, pp. 3518-3524 (2016), doi: 10.1021/acsnano.5b07750
ARPES investigations evidence multiple coexisting Dirac surface states at the zone-center of the reciprocal space, displaying distinct electronic band dispersion, different constant energy contours, and Dirac point energies.
We also provide evidence of Rashba-like split states close to the Fermi level, and deeper M- and V-shaped bands coexisting with the topological surface states. The experimental findings are in agreement with scanning tunneling microscopy measurements revealing different surface terminations according to the crystal structure of PbBi6Te10. Our experimental results are supported by density functional theory calculations predicting multiple topological surface states according to different surface cleavage planes.

P272 is a mandatory OFGEM regulation affecting upwards of 160,000 sites or 280,000 MPANS across the UK. It requires all electricity meters with Profile Classes 05-08 to be settled on the Half Hourly (HH) market.
Managed correctly, P272 represents a significant opportunity to save both costs and consumption.
BIU is the UK's leading energy consultancy and manages over 170,000 electricity supply points across more than 122,000 properties, servicing 10 per cent of the UK's commercial energy consumption each year.
Our clients are spending over £1billion annually on their utilities and our team is streamlining the whole process.
BIU has the expert staff, systems and industry knowledge and experience to manage your P272 obligations and deliver the maximum benefit to your business. We can deliver cost and consumption reduction across your business and help you derive the maximum benefit from the obligations.
What can P272 do for you?
If you don't act, your supplier will arrange a default Meter Operator and Data Collector/Data Aggregator contract for you. Yet the market in this area is open and highly competitive – acting early can result in significant savings of around 50% of this cost.
Industry estimates suggest saving opportunities totalling more than £100million exist in this area.
BIU has access to highly competitive prices across the industry and can source MOP and DC/DA agreements that are bespoke to your needs and deliver the greatest savings.
How did P272 come about?
Smartest Energy proposed P272 in May 2011 and it went through a number of Industry Impact Assessments, Workgroups and modifications before finally being approved in October 2014 with an initial implementation data of April 2016.
So what is P322 and has the implementation date now changed?
P322 was proposed by RWE Npower in April 2015 and contained new arrangements for migrating sites with Profile Classes 05-08 to Half Hourly settlement under P272 obligations.
These new arrangements included a phased approach and Performance Monitoring. Two proposals were put forward; P322 with a migration end date of 2nd November 2017 and an Alternative Modification with a migration end date of April 2017.
The Alternative Modification was approved and from the 5th of November 2015, advanced meters in Profile Classes 05-08 will need to be migrated to the HH market within 45 days of acquisition or contract renewal, with all migration completed by April 2017.
This isn't true. Communication from OFGEM approving P322 Alternative in June 2015 states that "P322 Alternative requires that, from 5th November 2015, suppliers must move sites in Profile Classes 5-8 with advanced meters to HH settlement within 45 days of customer acquisition or contract renewal." Some migration needed tp take place by January 2016.
A lack of action could see you tied in to default contracts for MOP and DC/DA agreements, which could cost significantly more than a competitively sourced agreement.
Secondly, you may have months, not years before your supplies fall under P272 obligations due to the phased nature of P322 and the OFGEM statement above.
This is unlikely. Since April 2014, 'advanced' or 'smart' meters capable of being read remotely and recording HH data have made mandatory on all 05-08 Profile Class supplies, so in most cases appropriate meters will already be in place. Exceptions may exist where advanced meters could not be fitted for H&S reasons etc, where an existing meter cannot be re-programmed or where installation took place but no signal can be received due to location. However these incidences will represent a very small minority of cases. Where you do need an upgraded meter or a new installation, BIU can manage this for you.
Analysis of supply contracts across the Big 6 energy suppliers suggested that around 30% of supplies would have taken place by early 2016, with the remainder spread across the period around contract renewal dates.
Will my energy costs increase?
They could do, or they could decrease depending on your consumption pattern. BIU can assist you to use P272 as a tool to drive costs and consumption down through monitoring and target and DSR programmes. Our bespoke systems and expert staff are able to derive maximum benefit to your from the improved data delivered by HH billing. We can add real value and reduce both costs and consumption across your business.
